H., July 16.—Regarding the mutiny which occurred onboard the Harvard Just before she sailed from Santiago, it has been learnedthat the Spaniards wanted to get atthe stores of the Ninth Massachusettsregiment, which went to Santiago onboard the Harvard. Part of the troopshad been landed, but a detail had beenleft to guard the stores and ammunition.It ls not clear whether the prisonersactually made a break for the stores,or whether they simply threatened todo so, but there was a clash betweenthe Spaniards and the Massachusettsmen in the face of a marine guard, whohad the prisoners ln charge. The captain of the guard, on seeing the danger of an outbreak, ordered his men tofire, and the marines obeyed, killingsix and wounding a dozen prisoners.The last large load of Spaniards fromthe Harvard was landed Just before4 o'clock.TEST WAS TOO HEAVY.Soldier* Sent for a Ten-Mile TrampSuffer Severely.CHARLESTON, July 16.— The threeregiments camped here were orderedout today for a ten-mile tramp inheavy marching order. The day wasan exceptionally hot one, and the mensuffered greatly. Before half of theMAJ. GEN. NELSON A. MILES,"Who Will Command the Porto Rican Expedition.Journey was accomplished, the rankshad been decimated by men fallingfrom exhaustion. Before they had returned to camp, some companies losthalf of their men. Some of the menare seriously sick, as a consequence ofthe march. Nineteen of them are inthe city hospital, and several of theseare thought to be in a critical condition. The trouble seems to be that themen have been kept on traveling rations for over a week. Before startingon their tramp, they had breakfast,•consisting of hardtack, coffee andcanned tomatoes. There was not sufficient food to sustain them throughthe task set for them.I_1 E SB M.M.

Miles Ia toGo First, and May Select a Placefor Landings the American Troops—Believed Resistance "Will Be■ Slight "Watson's Trip to tbeCoast of Spain.Washington Bureau St. Paul Globe. \Corcoran Building. \WASHINGTON, July 16.— (Special.)—It was given out here today that preparations for the Porto Rican expeditionwould likely be completed within afortnight. That the government is determined to lose no unnecessary timein getting the expedition under waywas evidenced ln the prompt summoning to "Washington of Gen. Brooke, whowas at the "White house today and hada prolonged conference with the president and members of the cabinet. Inofficial circles it ls said that the troopsat Camp Thomas were pronounced inexcellent shape by Gen, Brooke, who issaid to have added that the soldiersthere could be ready for the forwardmovement within two- weeks, at theoutside, and sooner if it became necessary. There is general belief that Gen.Brooke was instructed to get his supplies in such shape that they can betransferred to transports at short notice.MILES TO GO FIRST.Nothing has been heard directly fromGen. Miles during the. day, and it issuspected that he rs even now on theway to Porto Rico on a trip of inspection. It is said that Gen. Miles is anx-ious to post up on the situation beforethe actual campaign is Inaugurated.He will decide upon the _est landingpoint, and, together with Admiral• Sampson, agree upon how the fleetshall co-operate in the rednction of th«only real Spanish sWorignold there~San Juan. Admiral Sampson, who hashad some experience on the coast ofPorto Rico, is said to be of the opinion that no very formidable oppositionwill be encountered. The port of SanJuan is far easier of access than wasthat of Santiago, and after the shipshave thrown in a few shells the Spanish commandant at San'i'Juan will, itis believed, reoognize the futility of endeavoring to prevent the Americanforces from taking possession.WATSON'S TASK.Admiral Sampson has made a requisition on the ordnance department fora large supply of ammunition for thefleet. Most of this will be turned overi to Commodore Watson, who, when heI sails for the coast of Spain, will carrya supply of projectiles commensuratewith the task ln hand. In addition tothe shells for the big and little guns,Commodore Watson will carry a number of solid steel, armor-piercing shot,for use in event of running across Admiral Camara's squadron while on theway across, or after he arrives inSpanish waters. With the consignment for Commodore Watson will alsogo a lot of ammunition to replenishthe supplies of the ships that were inthe engagement with Admiral Cervera'sfleet off Santiago.SENDING SPANIARDS HOME.Secretary Alger's new bureau oftransportation is about to be tested asto Its ability to handle business ln anemergency. It ls known as the bureauof transportation, and ls in charge ofCol. Heicker, who has already givenevidence of possessing ra!,re executiveability. He has a valuable assistantin Col. Bird, of the quartermaster'sdepartment, which really has charge ofall government matters appertaining totransportation. It ls said to be the expressed opinion of Cols. Heicker andBird that the problem of sending homethe Spanish prisoners taken at Santiagowill be solved in such a way as toprove satisfactory to the governmentand all parties concerned. The task isundoubtedly one of stupendous proportions, but the officers of the UnitedStates military and naval departmentshave fully demonstrated their abilityto arise to the needs of almost any occasion.RECOGNITION OF CUBANS.One of the .problems that ls givingthe government considerable concernJust now ls what sort of recognitionshall be accorded the Cubans who assisted in the reduction of Santiago. Ithas been proposed that they be permitted to practically govern at that pointafter the Spanish prisoners have beensent away. This would, of course, meanthat they ace to remain under the direction of American military authorities. The government is anxious to getthe troops out of Santiago province assoon as possible, and It ls argued thatthe Cubans cannot be better utilizedthan in garrison duty at the capturedSpanish stronghold. It ls a foregoneconclusion ln official circles that theCubans will be restricted in whateverthey do to what is directed by theauthorities of the United States.TO EMBARK AT CHARLESTON.Probable Starting; Point of tbe Porto Rico Expedition.WASHINGTON, July 16.— Maj. Ge...Brooke, commanding the troops atChlckamauga, was in conference several times today with Secretary Alger.The two went over to the White house,where questions relating presumablyto the proposed Porto Rico expeditionwere discussed for some time. Secretary Alger and Gen. Brooke declinedabsolutely to make any statement regarding the subject.In other quarters, however, there areevidences that indicate activity in thedirection of preparation fiar a promptforward movement. For instance, stepsare being taken to ascertain and determine to the entire satisfaction of thewar department officials the mostavailable points on the Atlantic andGulf coasts from which to embarklarge numbers of men. "Maj. Gen. Wilson, now at Charleston with a brigadeof soldiers, has expressed the opinionthat that place offers the best harborfacilities for embarkation betweenthere and New Orleans. The depth ofthe water at low tide is slightly overtwenty feet, while at Savannah it isabout seventeen and at Farnandina,Fla., the captains of the vessels saythey cannot get into the harbor. Gen.Wilson has dispatched an officer toNewport News to look into the questionof shipping facilities, harbor, campgrounds and water supply at thatplace, which seems to indicate thatthe department Is considering thequestion of sending some troops therefor embarkation.WORK FOR WATSON.May Cause tlie Release of* CnlianFatrlotts at Fernando Po.NEW YORK, July 16.— From privateInformation received in this city bysympathizers with the Cuban cause,there is reason to believe that Commodore Watson may include in his mission to the Spanish coast a visit, firstor afterwards, to the Island- FernandoPo, off the African coast, to releasefrom imprisonment many people ban-| ished to the Island by Spain for political reasons. Most of the prisonersare Cuban sympathizers. That someconsideration has been given to thisproposition by the government or thatthe latter Intends to adopt some otherand immediate plan for securing therelease of the Cuban prisoners of waris partly evidenced by a dispatch received here reading as follows:"Hopes for the relief of the patriotHerrera and others have suddenlygrown brighter. MeKinley gives usgreat assurances of prompt actionnow."Four Spanish Prlnonern Dead.PORTSMOUTH, N. H., July l«.-Fourdeaths occurred during the night among theSpanish prisoners now at this port, two menhaving died on Seavy's Island and two onbor.rd tho Harvard. One of the deaths on thevessel was due to malarial fever, and theother to heart disease. One of the men whodied on the Island was an apothecary on oneof Cervera's ships and was a victim of paralysis. The other died from wounds. The conj dition of those on board the Harvard was| reported as being much better today.
